The cottage has great access to river (2-3 minute walk), Old Mill, downtown and Galveston/Newport roads (restaurants, food truck pod, breweries, etc.). We had a great stay.

Great location maintained by what is obviously a very professionally run boutique cottage rental company. Perfect for someone looking for the convenience of a home without having to deal with someone else’s personal items. I would absolutely stay again.
-Douglas

There is such attention to detail in the decorating. We felt immediately at home in the cottage. The beds are comfortable and there is lots of nice common area.
-Elsie

The house is just as advertised, cute, well appointed, super clean and has all the amenities.
-Amelia

Evenings were spent sat around the huge fire pit using wood that was already pre chopped for our convenience while watching the sun set.
-Walee

I can’t say enough great things about this cottage in Bend. Our only complaint? Leaving!!
-Julia

We recently got married in Bend and we’re looking for a base camp for family and friends to link up, BBQ, and relax. The Cottages were the perfect place!
-Zach

Very family friendly but also great for a girls weekend or romantic getaway. Basically you can have any kind of a stay at Sarah’s- the place is set up for it all.
-Michaela, April 2016

We had a great stay at the cottage to attend a conference at Bend. I often choose restored and renovated places over modern ones and, this one ranks high.
-Adrian, April 2016

We absolutely loved Sarah’s cottage. It was adorable and in an amazing location. We were in Bend for 4 nights with our golden retriever and couldn’t have had a better stay. Located within an easy walk to many breweries, great restaurants and parks! Located in a quiet residential area. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, and has a great kitchen (nice gas stove!) if you plan on cooking on vacation.

March 2015

Sarah’s cottage is so very comfortable, and extremely well located. The bed was awesome, and the skylights were lovely. It was the perfect base to explore Bend and the surrounding area. We were minutes away from coffee shops, amazing brew pubs, and restaurants. A pleasant 20 minute walk along the river got us to downtown Bend. Check in was very simple. I highly recommend staying here!

March 2015

Perfect cottage compound for our family wedding weekend. Lots of room both inside and out for gathering around the fire, sharing meals and great times. Adorable decor; super comfortable accomodations; gracious and welcoming hosts. In a word: perfect. My kids want to live like this (all the family on one big property) forever!

March 2015

This was the perfect cottage for our trip. Sarah had a book that introduced us to our surroundings, where things were and how everything worked. The space was so well put together and Sarah has thought of every detail. The cottage was comfortable, clean and soo “cute” (my boyfriend got sick of me using that word!). The neighborhood is convenient to most things in Bend. We would 100% go back and recommend this place to everyone.

February 2015

We loved our stay at the Bungalow. It is very tastefully decorated with a great mix of modern and vintage. The guest information book, that was put together for visitors, had perfect recommendations including coffee shops (Backporch) to breweries (Crux) to restaurants (Chow) and things to do nearby. We appreciated the black out curtains in the bedrooms and the super comfortable mattresses. The sun filled dining nook was a great place to share a meal. My son loved the flat screen TV that could be hidden in the living room cabinet. There were also good books, lots of DVD’s and games to chose from. Our stay was one of my all time favorite AirBnB experiences.

February 2015

My husband and I were in town for the New Years holiday (4 nights) and found Sarah’s cottage to be the perfect location for all activities. Our reservation and check-in process was quite simple. We were provided thorough detail on directions, parking and accessing the cottage. We were so impressed by the interior furnishings and décor and felt quite spoiled by the amount of room we had. We can’t wait to return and enjoy the cottage during the summer.

January 2015

LOVED this adorable abode. We stayed here over Xmas/New Year with our two girls (aged 9 and 11) and small dog Wally. We especially appreciated being able to cook in the awesome kitchen (six burner stove and high counters were bliss to two tall home cooks!) Sarah’s assistant Anna was a rockstar, on call to answer any and all annoying questions about both the house and the area. Beautifully furnished with gorgeous touches of whimsy, it was truly was functional and fashionable. Best of all, it was mere walking minutes to the Mt Bachelor Shuttle Bus.

January 2015

Our Christmas stay at Sarah’s cottage could not have gone better! The location was perfect: it is in a quite neighborhood, yet within a short walk to Safeway, a couple of breweries, and coffee shops! There is also a lovely park on the river practically next door. The cottage itself was immaculate. The gas fireplace was a highlight! Our dog absolutely loved the huge fenced yard where he could run around in the snow. We fell in love with Bend and would love to stay here again during our (hopefully numerous) trips back!

December 2014

WE LOVED THE ARROW HOUSE. It was exactly as pictured but even better in reality. The bed was HUGE. And comfy. Everything worked. Every time I would say “I wish there were fluffy robes”, my boyfriend would say, “Here they are!” Ditto for the dish rack, the clothes rack etc. We used the hot tub. Not the bikes (but they are there and ready for riders). The fire pit, the picnic table, etc NEXT TIME!

December 2014

This is by far our favorite place we have ever stayed in Bend. Although it is ideally located close to everything, it is such a cozy, welcoming space that it is hard to leave the cottage! We love staying places where we can walk or bike everywhere, and this cottage makes it easy. Even though we had to work (at our real jobs back home) a bit while there, it made it all the more enjoyable to be doing so in such a comfortable setting. There are so many thoughtful creative, delightful touches inside, and the yard is absolutely perfect for dogs. I have already recommended it to friends. We came to town for an annual bike race and are already planning our return trip…

Fall 2014

The cottage was fantastic, and exactly as advertised. It’s modern with rustic touches, in a fantastic area of Bend with access to the river trail, and a ton of restaurants and shops. The cottage was clean, and stocked with the amenities you’d expect, and in the one case I needed to contact them, they were quick to respond. A fantastic experience!

Fall 2014

This cottage was a true joy! Sarah was an excellent communicator. We arrived after midnight and it was easy to get in, the cottage was even more gorgeous than we imagined, and her suggestions for neighborhood restaurants were excellent (seriously, Spork!). We LOVED it.

Fall 2014

The Cottage was absolutely everything and more. It has all of the comforts of home in a stylish, cozy, clean and beautifully designed space. Our family took advantage of dining in the sun room, roasting marshmallows out back on the firepit, riding bikes, snuggling on the front porch glider and taking walks to the river, old mill, downtown and the local coffee shop directly from the cottage. We cooked a few meals in the kitchen and found everything we needed! When we weren’t out exploring bend, we were just “hanging out” at the cottage – napping, building puzzles or watching movies. It was a destination in itself! We will definitely be back!

Fall 2014

Comfortable, cozy and convenient. Sarah’s creative touch makes the studio warm and welcoming. With the bikes she provided we could explore the downtown, mill district and river at our leisure without a car. For folks who want to cook, like we do, the kitchen is functional and well-equipped and, when combined with the outdoor grill, it’s easy to rustle up some good grub. We’ll definitely stay here again, if we make it back to Bend.

Fall 2014

The communication was great with the pre-arrival details that were clear and if questions needed to be answered a phone number was provided. Both Sarah and Anna communicated with us and Anna came by after our arrival to make sure everything was OK. The cottage is in an ideal location as it it walkable to both the Old Mill District and Downtown. Bicycles are provided if you choose to travel using that mode of transportation. You are 1 block off the river where floating is possible on those warm summer nights. The cottage is well equipped and has extra features that are part of the compound like a fire pit and herb garden. The cottage has designer touches that make it feel like home. The bed is comfortable and the galley kitchen is great to work in preparing meals. This was our second stay at the cottage and we will be back during the winter in 2015. Bend has many great restaurant experiences if you prefer not to cook. We enjoyed walking every morning to get coffee and try the local beans. Thump was our favorite, followed closely by strictly organic. If you like beer then Bend has the Ale Trail and a great brewery you can tour. There are many activities that happen in Bend. We added a summer concert at the Mill and the famers market in downtown on this trip just to name a few. This cottage is ideal for a couple but there are other accommodations for families or bigger groups in the same compound. Please feel free to email me about our stay.

Summer 2014

We had such an incredible time in Bend. The town, the restaurants, the parks and the cottage were all amazing! The King bed was soooo comfortable that I tore the fitted sheet off to get the brand name. I have not slept so well in a decade. My husband and I made use of the bicycles and the hot tub. The furnishings and the decor were well-thought out and every detail was perfect, right down to the bound cottage instruction book. We will definitely be back to enjoy Bend and Sarah’s cottages again.

Summer 2014

What a place! Its wonderfully located, central to almost everything. There are plenty of cruiser style bikes for your group to ride around the city. Breweries are close by, coffee is even closer, and the 3 cottages are amazing. Fire pit in the middle of the 3 cottages was great for s’mores (spelling?!) and the hot tub was fantastic. You can comfortably sleep at least 13, with no one on a floor. Sarah has created wonderful books about all the local attractions, and a great house manual. Simply can’t be beat. We are going to try to come back next year 🙂

Summer 2014

The beauty is in the details. This superbly designed cottage has everything one could possibly need for a spectacular family vacation in Bend. From DVDs and boardgames to high end kitchen appliances and cozy quilts, the host truly thought of everything. The house is spacious and well designed. My family and I particularly enjoyed the sunny breakfast nook in the back. The hot tub (which is maintained by a professional pool and spa business in town) was very clean and made for the perfect end to a day of skiing at Bachelor. In addition the location is ideal. The Old Mill and Downtown are a short walk away. The host was very responsive and made communication a breeze. I would highly recommend this place to anyone thinking of staying in Bend.

Summer 2014

Sarah’s cottages are adorable. There is such attention to detail in the decorating. We felt immediately at home in the cottage. The beds are comfortable and there is lots of nice common area. The bikes that are available for use are a huge bonus. We had a great time cruising around town. The location is great. It is right by the river and within walking distance to everything. We basically just got in the car to go skiing.

Spring 2014

We stayed at the cottage compound while exploring the Bend Ale Trail with a group of 12 (plus one 5-month old infant). I was originally a little concerned having been such a large group, but the cottages were able to accommodate us. We had more than enough room for everyone, and the kitchens were well stocked which enabled us to do some cooking in-house instead of having to eat out every meal. The location is incredibly convenient, with downtown Bend being a 20-minute walk away and a Safeway around the corner. We were able to easily walk to most of the breweries on the Ale Trail and the cottage is extremely close to GoodLife Brewery — possibly our favorite of the trip. Sarah and her assistant, Anna, were excellent hosts and communicated everything we needed to know well before we arrived. In all we had a great adventure in Bend and are grateful for being able to stay in such adorable cottages!

Spring 2014

We stayed in Sarah’s adorable cottage for ten days. The location was perfect as it was “4 minutes” away from everything. The 10 barrel pub and the Mt bachelor bus stop were both within an easy walk. The kitchen was full of great cooking equipment and proved to be the heart of the house. When we weren’t cooking or skiing, we made use of the fire pit and the hot tub. The living room was cozy and the TVs were brilliantly located in the bedrooms so we had a chance to catch up and socialize in the main area without the distraction of a TV. The towels were abundant and of high quality and the washer and dryer helped us keep up with our sweaty ski clothes. This is the perfect house in the perfect city. Thank you Sarah and Anna for the best ski holiday ever!

Winter 2014

A sweet little cottage in a super location! We were impressed with the high-end appliances in the kitchen and the attention to detail throughout the cottage. Super-comfy beds and very clean, tidy space with all the amenities. Plus, it was an easy walk to the Old Mill district and we took advantage of the mild weather to take a long walk by the river. Also within walking distance (two blocks!) to the Blue Pine bar/restaurant…bar food with a gourmet touch.

Winter 2014

Sarah’s cottages are a perfect blend of creature comfort, style, affordability and close proximity to activities in Bend. If you’re visiting solo or as a couple, she has a great studio, or you can rent out all 3 homes and bring the entire extended family. I really loved the setup and experience as a whole!

Fall 2013

I’m so hesitant to leave Sarah a positive review about her cottage because I am afraid that the next time I visit Bend, her calendar will be all booked up and I will have to find another home to stay in. Desperate times call for desperate measures. PROS: – none. CONS: – I guess you should stay here if you like the words “cute”, “quaint”, and “cozy” to describe the home. Sarah’s decorating style will invoke feelings of envy and hours will be spent scouring vintage stores to try and replicate. – The back yard was too large and well maintained. – Evening were spent sat around the huge fire pit using wood that was already pre chopped for our convenience while watching the sun set. I prefer to chop my own wood but was denied the chance. – Downtown Mill District was too close. We could’ve borrowed one of the many bikes that were on hand to ride to the many shops and restaurants nearby. And so we did. – I can’t believe I had to cook in that kitchen. Sarah had everything on hand to make cooking easy, including an herb garden. An HERB garden! The nerve. Her stove and fridge were vintage but they worked…really well. – Staying here will make you not want to leave. And that’s just absurd. Because eventually, you WILL have to leave. Be delighted to stay here or rent out all the other cottages at your own risk.

Summer 2013

This is one of the sweetest, quaintest places I’ve ever stayed in! What a lucky thing to come across last minute on Air BnB.com. The decorating of the cottage and the small details (towel warmer, outdoor shower, breakfast nook, top end appliances, bikes, hot tub!) made it a place we didn’t want to leave. But we will definitely be back! Bend is a great town. Thanks for sharing this cute little cottage with us. 🙂

Summer 2013

Sarah was so nice and accommodating. The cottage was spotless, everything we needed was there, it was hard to leave, wish we had more time there for the spa and bikes. Would recommend this place to anyone, every cottage was perfect, cute, clean and gave me great ideas for my own home. This is the way to go, my brother lives in Bend and I will pass on the info to him as well. Thanks for everything and wish you the best of success with this.

Summer 2013

This is the most adorable house – it’s practically perfect. I rented the home for a girls getaway, and all of us just fell in love with it. It’s in a perfect location for walking downtown, old mill, and to the river. We loved having the option to ride bikes around town, and even enjoyed the hot tub. All in all, it was a wonderful stay and I’ll definitely rent it again the next time I visit Bend. 🙂

Summer 2013

What a great place to stay. The property is so cute, and with all the amenities that you need. Sarah was so helpful. From getting us bikes, to going out of her way to bring us games. Our dogs loved the big back yard, and the location was perfect. If you have a few families even better, you can rent the other two cottages. Awesome stay, and my two girls loved the place.

Summer 2013

Sarah, Your Westside Cottage was amazing, such great attention to detail throughout the home. It was very relaxing and the bed was perfect, not too hard and not too soft…Slept like a baby. Coordinating with Anna on the stay was great and she made the whole experience a breeze. I travel a lot and this has been the best vacation rental I have stayed in period. The kitchen is amazing, the sun porch in the back is perfect for hosting parties, the BBQ is top notch and the claw tub was great for a late night soak. The new hot tub going in will be perfect for just about any night of the year. The fact that I can walk to the river, the Old Mill or Downtown in minutes make the location perfect for Bend. I will be staying here again in the future!
